Re: Endangered Wildlife
from stanley on 07/11/2015 05:46 AMOne day our time will go down in history as the era that allowed so many beautiful creatures to go extinct. Why? Because we (humans) just had to exploit every habitat everywhere for our own profit, regardless. The sad part is, there is no answer. You can't tell an African desperate to feed his family that it is wrong to make $1 joining a group that hunts a rhino so that it's horn can be marketed as an aphrodisiac. There is no answer. Most big creatures WILL die out in our or the next generation's time. And so, Philip K Dick's question "do androids dream of electric sheep" will become a real question.

Lately, awareness was rised about another, critically endangered species, the vaquita, a rare species of porpoise: 
Citing:
It is endemic to the northern part of the Gulf of California. The estimated number of individuals dropped below 100 in 2014, putting it in imminent danger of extinction.
